Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and in particular a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes an ion implantation step.
- a step of forming a desired impurity-region by ion implantation is adopted to obtain a high performance semiconductor device.
- This step is carried out by, for example, forming a buffer oxide film on a semiconductor substrate, coating a resist film on the oxide film, subjecting the resist film to patterning by photolithography to form a window corresponding to an impurity-region formation region and ion implanting a desired impurity into a resultant structure with the resist film pattern as a mask.
- the surface of the semiconductor substrate is even and flat after the removal of the resist film subsequent to the formation of the impurity-region.
- no mask alignment mark remains for the formation of a resist film pattern, etc. It is therefore conventionally necessary to provide a step for forming a mask alignment mark using one of the methods set out below.
- a mask alignment mark which is necessary for photolithograhy in the subsequent step is formed on the surface of the buffer oxide film or the semiconductor substrate using another mask.
- openings are formed with the resist film pattern as the mask in the oxide film underlying the resist film such that they reach the semiconductor substrate underlying the oxide film.
- the opening is used as an alignment mark in the subsequent step for photolithography.
- the number of photolithography steps is increased, which results in a high manufacturing cost and an accuracy problem with respect to the configuration of the pattern.
- implanting an impurity through the opening directly into the semiconductor substrate is liable to produce a crystal defect. It is very difficult to control the depth of etching in the formation of the opening. Furthermore, a crystal defect is liable to be produced.
- the resultant semiconductor device has a high noise level.
- a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of, implanting silicon ions in a dose of 1 ⁇ 10 13 to 1 ⁇ 10 15 /cm 2 into impurity-region formation region of a semiconductor substrate and subjecting the implanted silicon ions to an activation treatment to form an epitaxially grown protrusion on the surface of the substrate before or after the ion implantation of an impurity into the impurity-region formation region of the semiconductor substrate.
- the manufacturing steps can be simplified and it is possible to obtain a semiconductor device having a sufficiently low noise level.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 are cross sectional views showing the steps of manufacturing a bipolar transistor according to the method of this invention.
- FIG. 3 shows the relation of a dose of silicon ions to the noise level of the bipolar transistor obtained according to the method of this invention.
- a buffer oxide film 2 with a thickness of, for example, 1,000 ⁇ was formed on the surface of, for example, an n-type semiconductor substrate 1.
- a resist film 3 with a thickness of, for example, 1.5 ⁇ m was formed on the surface of the buffer oxide film 2.
- An opening 4 was formed by photolithography in the resist film 3 as shown in FIG. 1.
- Silicon ions were implanted in, for example, a dose of 1 ⁇ 10 14 /cm 2 (silicon ions may be implanted in a dose of 1 ⁇ 10 13 to 1 ⁇ 10 15 ; preferably 1 ⁇ 10 14 to 5 ⁇ 10 14 /cm 2 ), into a surface region 8a of the semiconductor substrate 1 with the resist film 3 as a mask.
- the implanted silicon ions were subjected to an activation treatment to form an epitaxial grown protrusion 7.
- the boron implanted into the region 8a was activated by the heat treatment to form a p.sup. + -type region 8 corresponding to a base region of a bipolar transistor.
- the temperature of 1,000° to 1,200° C. is necessary to activate the silicon ions and impurity ions and diffuse the impurity ions.
- N + -type region not shown, corresponding to an emitter region was formed by a known method using photolithography in the p + -type region 8, followed by forming electrodes interconnected with the respective active regions to provide an npn bipolar transistor.
- the impurity-region 8 has the protrusion 7, a mask alignment can be successfully performed with the protrusion 7 as an alignment mark when photolithography is to be carried out subsequent to the formation of the impurity-region 8.
- the resultant semiconductor device has a low noise level (In ⁇ h fe , In: noise current of transistor; h fe : current amplification factor) of 150 to 200 pA.
- the dose of silicon ions was less than 1 ⁇ 10 13 cm 2 , the formation of the protrusion was insufficient and it was not possible to sufficiently lower the noise level of the semiconductor device. If the dose of the silicon ions exceeded 1 ⁇ 10 15 /cm 2 , a number of crystal defects were produced in that region of the substrate where the silicon ions were implanted. As a result, the semiconductor device has a high noise level.
- the implantation of the silicon ions was carried out before the ion implantation of an impurity such as boron.
- the silicon ion-implantation also may be done after the ion implantation of the impurity.
- the impurity atoms in the impurity-region are ideally rearranged owing to the crystallization of the silicon by the activation treatment, that is, the impurity atoms are uniformly rearranged among the silicon crystals without segregation.
